New black box warning
The FDA recently announced an additional boxed warning to the label of Regranex Gel 0.01% (becaplermin), a topical cream used for the treatment of leg and foot ulcers that are not healing in diabetic patients. The boxed warning advises doctors and patients about the increased risk of death from cancer that was seen in patients treated with three or more tubes of Regranex compared with those patients who did not use Regranex. This is a follow-up communication to a Regranex safety alert posted by the FDA in March 2008.
